The diagram: the urinary system of a human, kidney, renal pelvis, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra, adrenal gland, renal artery. Inferior vena cava: abdominal aorta, common iliac artery and vein. The order of how waste goes out: kidneys ureters urinary bladders. The male"s and female"s urinary system are not different, excluding the size of the urethra. A healthy human produces at least 800 2000 millimeters of blood a day. Of course, it varies depending on how much fluid goes in to the body and the urine system. Urine is the waste from blood, filtrated by the kidney. The urine system isn"t independent like the many other systems in our body; it works with the other systems to keep a balance of the water and chemicals in the body. The bladder can hold about 300ml to 600ml of urine.
